Access Issues

Some privately owned climbing areas may have restricted access. Check on the [FFME website](https://www.ffme.fr/). You can also find the updated list of forbidden climbing spots on the [FFME CT38 website](https://ffmect38.fr/la-liste-des-sites-descalade-interdits-en-isere/).

Approach

Can be accessed both from Alpette and Poutran lifts. Alpette lift is closer but you have to do 150-200m elevation, Poutran is further away but it's more of a descent, 20 mins. Some guides suggested parcing near the closest rifugio / Chalet Du Lac Besson - that road was closed as of July 2026.

Ethic

Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.
